Responses

4h+37=13
4 h plus 37 is equal to 13

4h−37=13
4 h minus 37 is equal to 13

4h+13=37
4 h plus 13 is equal to 37

4h−13=37

Answer 1

To find out the number of hours, \( h \), Mateo rented the bike, we need to account for both the hourly rental cost and the initial rental charge.

Mateo paid:

• A fixed charge of $13 to rent the bike.
• An additional charge of $4 per hour for \( h \) hours.

The total cost he paid for renting the bike is $37. Therefore, the equation representing this scenario is:

\[ 4h + 13 = 37 \]

So, the correct response is:

4h + 13 = 37
